10/22 Finger Groove

[G2]

Some have mentioned the 10/22 Finger Groove was the nicest 10/22 ever made. The lines of the Monte Carlo Stock was very popular in the mid to late 1960's.
I really like the nice Walnut of the day and over time it's just got better.

It has been mentioned "Ruger should bring back the Finger Groove Stock",,,
In a way hey have….

Recently aquired a Custom Shop 10/22 Competition and noticed it's got the Finger Groove.
The modern day Finger Groove??

Absolutely Beautiful,,, and the vintage Walnut!

Very nice pictures.

Another simple feature of the early guns is the double curve front sight, elegant.

I always thought the early Internationals, especially the checkered ones, were the nicest and best looking 10-22's made. IMHO

I don't have a finger groove 10-22 but I am sure that if I did I would enjoy it.
I do have 3 Internationals, 1 is a TALO with fish scale checkering and the other 2 were made up from other 10-22's when I found International stocks to build them. All 3 have BX triggers which makes them even better in my opinion.
I also have 2 10-22's with straight grip stocks and 16 inch barrels that I built from standard carbines. They also have the BX triggers in them and are an absolute delight to carry and shoot.

Not wood but the modular stock on the compact has a nice grove. You just have to buy the standard length of pull comb module for $21 to make it usable for an adult.
